RALPH L. DIEHL ACADEMIC Happy am I, from care am I free. This is typical of Ike -the original Ike, never worrying or studying too hard but always ready to elicit a laugh. But don't ever mention feminine acquaintances, or that crimson color is certain to creep over his ace. HERBERT A. DRUEDING PRACTICAL ARTS Such geniality as is found in Hick is indeed rare, as is his versatility. No wonder he has been cast in both of our class productions. Then, too, he has the knack of combining athletic prowess with witticism. Basketball, X, Chef Club, X, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Baseball, XI, A. A. Council, XI, XII, Class Play, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELSIE H. DUKES COMMERCIAL Are you in need of a true friend? If so, Elsie is that person, for her deep understanding gaze and hesitant smile are a balm that soothes the most troubled brow. Not to be overlooked, however, are her achievements as a hockeyist and an able bas- ketball manager. Glee Club, X, Hockey, XI, XII, Basketball Manager, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Secretary to Teacher, XII. JOHN B. DUPONT COMMERCIAL Focus your optics upon Duke, who seldom fails to make a dramatic appearance. But that is the way John does things. Besides, who would ever think that such an innocent-looking person could cause so much uproar? No matter, John, we like you just as you are. Baseball, X, Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, Class Play, XI, ELMER W. EDGE COMMERCIAL Beez is a saunterer. He strolls about school with his wor- ries, if present, subdued. Beez, though, always seems to meander where the fun is brewing, and he never fails to add his bit. Here's to success, Elmer! JAMES F. ELLIOTT PRACTICAL ARTS Peanut, needless to say, is of diminutive stature. Having directed the affairs of the football squad as he did, he has be- come a manager of some renown. Peanut, is another musician of the class, and a very good one at that. Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, XII, Football, Manager, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII. JOHN P. ELLIS ACADEMIC May we present-but, oh, how stupid we are! Of course, you know 'IBig John or Daddy John, as we affectionately call him. We do not suppose that there is anyone who has not seen his lumberous bulk on the football field, nor failed to appreciate his admirable personality. Student Council, X, Hi-Y, X, XI, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XII. RAYMOND FISHER ACADEMIC Hello, there! This is amateur station, F., calling sta- tion, XXYZ.U Who can this be? , No one but our electrically- minded classmate, Kay. Few of us suspected that this was his liking, but then you never can tell. Best of luck, Kay ! Football, XI, XII, Track, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XII, Varsity Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. 21 1 l

ROBERT D. COLE ACADEM1C This is our earnest president, who has, for the last three years, shouldered willingly the major responsibility of keeping our class from going astray. This accomplished proficiency is due, in large measure, to Bob's knack of welding class effort into class success. A Cappella Choir, X, XI, Band, X, XI, Operetta, X, XI, Orchestra, X, XI, Class President, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, X, XI, XII, Class Play, XI. GURVIN W. COLLINS ACADEMIC With his carefree cavortings, Gurv has the faculty of carelessly garnering innumerable and lasting friends. He seems to have a unique philosophy that makes like good to the last drop. Obviously, Gurv's main enjoyment in school is de- rived from athletics. Baseball, X, XI, Captain, XII, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII. ROSALIE M. COLLINS COMMERCIAL ' An aureola of curls frames Rosalie's delicate features. She is our lady debonair and cheerful. We surmise from her membership in the Probies' Club that she is considering nursing as her life's work. If so, we predict that she will make a charming nurse. Glee Club, X, Cinema Club, XI, Probies' Club, XII. DOROTHY M. CONGLETON COMMERCIAL Dot is very fond of keys, not only typewriter keys, but ivory ones as well, for she has a deep appreciation of good music. Dot has a fine alto voice, and consequently is a member of the senior sextet. Glee Club, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, XII, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII. 20 F. GENEVIEVE CONNOR ' COMMERCIAL Moonglow and pale satin, sound of the dance, lyric grace, and a gay abandon of care-all of these phrases equal one person- Gen This charming miss will be remembered for her skillful enactment of both siren and heroine roles in our class dramatics. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, A Cappella Choir, XI, Class Play, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. VIVIAN I. COSTELLO COMMERCIAL A rippling sound of laughter, a gaiety of manner, and a zealous love of life combine in the person of our Viv, And as to sports, she can easily master any or all of them. Surely, this versatility should serve to aid Viv in achieving life's goal. Basketball, X, XII, Hockey, X, XII, Operetta, X, XII, Col- humr, XII, Cinema Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. CLIFFORD P. CROWERS ACADEMIC A breath of poetry, a bit of fluent French, and a touch of the debonair--that is Cliff, His impartial friendliness, his gentle sensitivity, his refinement, and his eager desire to please have brought him just rewards. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Hi-Y, XI, A Cappella Choir, XII, Class Play, XII, Collaumr, XII, Operetta, XII, TI-IIE COLSENIAN, Editor-in-Chief, XII. MARGARET M. DATTE COMMERCIAL In many ways Marge is a contradiction. With her auburn locks, she should be a lass of impulsive moods. She is anything but that. Ordinarily Marge is no feminine Mercury, how- ever, on the hockey field her winged feet have many times out- distanced her opponents. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Collaumr, XI, Hockey, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII.

ERNEST W. FITZGERALD COMMERCIAL Tall ships, strange happenings, foreign lands and peoples- all of these heed the urgent call of the adventurous mind, the sensitive imagination. Ernie,' is just such a voyager traveling into a magic world, Ending friends and enjoyment, that lie between the bookends. ROBERT L. ERITZ PRACTICAL ARTS The cat, according to the old adage, must certainly have played havoc with Fritz's tongue. He is undoubtedly the most secretive individual we know, never saying more than a few words at a time. We have an idea, though, that Fritz is not so quiet among his cronies. Track, XI, Football, XII. JOSEPH P. GUETTER COMMERCIAL Here is our candidate for the distinction of tallest senior. Somewhat retiring in disposition, Joe, turns his industrious- ness toward practical ends. A mechanic by inclination, Joe just loves to tinker with motors, and as a hobby, he thoroughly understands the mechanics of chess. Hi-Y, XI, XII, Football, XII. FRANK J. HAGAN PRACTICAL ARTS Frank's happiest moments have been spent in bringing honor to C. H. S. through his wholehearted participation in baseball and basketball. His nonchalance and penetrating smile are all his own. Frank's sense of sportsmanship will certainly be an asset in his future contacts. Baseball, X, XI, XII, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Chef Club, XII, Varsity Club, XII. 22 ROBERT J. HAGERTY ACADEMIC Here is a future rival of Lawrence Tibbett! We say that with absolute conviction. But judging from his manliness, his innate thoughtfulness, and his mature appreciations, we main- tain that achievement in almost any field will be his. Glee Club, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, XII, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, Class Play, XI, XII, Boys' Chorus, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI, Business Manager, XII. HANORA V. HANLY COMMERCIAL A little gay chatter, a sense of humor, and a few droll ex- pressions-here, you have Nonie, a conversationalist supreme. Her presence is welcome at all socials, and her hospitable man- ner and dependability account for her attractive personality. Basketball, XI, Hockey, XI, XII, Cinema Club, XII, Cal- laumx Staff, XII, Probies' Club, XII. MARIE I. HANLY ACADEMIC A picturesque bit of old Erin is Marie, smiling eyes, a burst of laughter, and a tenacious desire to defend her convictions in the face of opposition. These argumentative abilities have pre- vailed in many a Probs battle of wits. Best of luck to our colleen! Glee Club, X, Hockey, Manager, XII, Probies' Club, XII. ELIZABETH J. HARNEST COMMERCIAL Chubby-cheeked Betty is constantly giggling, and we do mean giggling. The smiles just wreathe her face, ripples com- ing to the surface from a joyous heart. Everything arnuses her, perhaps that's why we like her so. She makes even the most preplexing problem seem trivial and unimportant. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII.
